Its population had been 177 in 1881 and 181 in 1891. The table places it in Feakle parish, electoral division and dispensary district, within Upper Tulla barony and Scariff Poor Law Union.

The town was listed as Baurroe and Feakle, with 264 inhabitants in 1901. Half lived in the portion on Feakle townland: 132 people in twenty-five occupied houses, with four houses empty. The other 132 lived on Baurroe townland in Ayle electoral division. The census gives an estimated twenty-three acres for the whole town, included within the two townlands’ areas and valuations.
